Pros

Great PTO policy, sick time, fun events, the best 401k matching

Cons

Most departments here are amazing. The Parts Order Desk is just poorly managed. There's no future planning (such as shift coverage, company events/meetings), poor communication or lack of communication, inability to stick with a plan, and unprofessional catty behavior. It's wildly inefficient with process issues taking months to address if they're addressed at all.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
